As a Caps fan, I think the value is fine, the issue is I can't see the Caps ever doing this unless things get really really dire.
I would think the Capitals would jump all over this trade.
Jensen did not play an NHL game until he was 26 yo, yet his first four seasons (278 gm, 4 go, 50 pts) are remarkably similar to Jokiharju's first five seasons (273 gm, 13 go, 67 pts) before he reached 24 yo.
Not sure of Kuemper's value but a first is certainly ample.
Washington wins this trade by a very wide margin.

I think the Sabres are overpaying here
Don’t think either of those players from WASH is worth a 1st
If I am Buffalo, I would keep Jokiharju over Jensen as Henri is younger, less expensive and has higher a ceiling than Nick.
Probably would pass on Darcy Kuemper as well due to his age cap hit and length of contract.
Let me remind you
@Ihopeigetit when you envisions trades with the Sabres.
The team is composed of drafted players Cozens, Quinn, Peterka, Dahlin, Power, Samuelsson, Luukkonen, Girgensons, Olofsson, Mittelstadt, Bryson etc.
Young players who came to Buffalo as prospects and did not make an impression of their previous team Jokiharju, Krebs, Thompson, Levi.
Players who have a connection to another player or coach, Okposo, Stillman, Clifton, Erik Johnson, Greenway.
Fringe players Comrie, Jost.
Players who want to play in Buffalo Tuch, Okposo, Skinner.
I really doubt Jenson or Kuemper fit any of those categories.
